Verizon Matches Cost of AT&T's 10GB Shared Plan

Verizon is misleading, as always
It still *requires* Verizon EDGE. Thus, making it more expensive than AT&T when a phone is owned outright.
AT&T doesn't require Next, and truly is $160 when there are no device payments.

It's really not that expensive. Being on Verizon Edge with a 10 GB+ plan also gives you a $20 credit per device on Edge. So if you're regular Edge pricing with say a 3 GB plan the phone is $25, on the 10 GB plan it's only $5. By going to the 10 GB plan my bill will go from $202.53 a month to $165. 53. That seems like quite a savings to me.

This article doesn't clearly state the stipulations surrounding the advertised rate plan, which may cause some confusion. With a 10 GB MORE EVERYTHING plan, a $20 per line discount was available for any smartphone on an edge payment plan. Less than 10GB more everything smartphones on edge received $10 per month discount. The change this article refers to is an increase from $20 to $25 discount, only for smartphones on edge payment plans on $10 GB or higher More Everything plans.

As noted, yes better deal for folks on family plan and already paying for Edge.
Note that the "$25/mo discount" goes away as soon as your phone is paid for, so you are locked into Edge (and getting new phones) to keep the better rate.
In short, there is no way to get 4 phones for $160 like AT&T can do. i.e. Even if you pay off your phone, you would lose discount unless you borrow more money (and get another new phone). AKA Lame in my book.
